An excellent point! One not made in the video. But yes, we DID in fact install inline resistors to the LED noizemakers for the “over flash”. The scene you’re referring to is actually sped up which is easy to miss since we killed the lights in the scene. Hence the over flash in that scene. But hey good catch! And thank you for watching!

First of all, HELL YA! make em both flatbeds! The one ton, make it a hydraulic dump bed too! Hydraulic kits are inexpensive to do yourself relative to the cost of HAVING it done for you. Now to you actual question: powder coating IS cool and it IS durable. Is it necessary? Well, NO. Not really. You could absolutely spray or roll your own rust inhibitor paint coating for maybe $200 done right by you. At the time we did this project it was $300 to have it done. As you saw for yourself the results are worth every penny! At least they were. Now, after the pandemic inflation pricing have likely gone up 1.5 times! I run a steel yard and we handle the steel scrap from that company (they also build truck racks) so I know the boys there and can swing a deal. In fact, I’m working on another fab video building a F250 truck bed cage system for a friends landscaping business and will be using the powder coasters services yet again. So, if you do it yourself, there are great products out there and when it comes to paint you get what you pay for. That’s why powder coating is “expensive”. At my steel yard we sell a product called Zero Rust and our customers swear by it! A gallon also cost $115! Hope this helps and best of luck on your project. There’s more than one way to skin a cat and about 100 ways to fuck up a paint job!😂
